Welcome, one and all, young-actually, maybe not young, given the story-and old, men, women, human, alien, and everything else there is! I am called Narrator. Today, I have a special story for you. One with all the hallmarks of a classic! Love! Suspense! Action! Mystery! Development! All of these come together to form a _gorgeous _story that has wormed its way into my heart, and will most likely do so to you, as well.

Before we dive in, however, I must preface with this: what I am going to tell is a saga. It is not a short story meant for browsing. This will take a while. And this will take a while to finish. So I have taken the liberty to separate the main parts of this story into arcs. Now then, let us begin where any good story begins: the beginning.

We set the stage in a reality not unlike yours. I say this because this reality is the result of a thousand infant realities coalescing into one. All of their courses of existence were molded and combined into one. So there will be things familiar to you. There will also be things rather odd to you.

As I was saying, we set the stage in a world not unlike yours. A planet so large, it could take a hundred thousand years to traverse its entirety. A planet so old, hundreds of trillions of years of history formed. And on this planet, in the 400th year of the Greater Peace Era, lived a girl. Her name was A-

Hi there.

Oh, hello. As I was sayi- how did you get here?

I have my ways.

Al…right. Could you please remain quiet, then? I am attempting to tell a story.

Yeah, about that story… to be blunt, you aren’t gonna tell it.

Firstly, why? Secondly, how could you stop me?

I can’t exactly you to stop, but let me tell you why. My name is Alexandria Miranda Stormbringer. I am the protagonist of the story you’re gonna tell.

Oh my.

Yeah. So, and I say this as respectfully as possible, shut up and hand me the spotlight.

What? Wa- oh, fine. I’ll be over in this corner if you need me.

Alright have fun! Annndddd he’s gone. So now I’m here. My name, if you haven’t heard, is Alexandria Stormbringer, though I just go by Alex. And this… is my story.
